Billy Sullivan is a painter who is obsessed with his and other people's dogs. I met Billy last summer with his husband Klaus at Malcolm Morley's house for dinner. We didn't talk dogs but we will from now on.

Gizmo is seen in the last picture and when Kyoko took his picture he knew exactly where to be. As she says about animals, "I think I have a healthy relationship with animals in general. When I grew up in Japan, we had tadpoles, crayfish, koi fish, a pet hamster with one arm, pet squirrels (different than American squirrels), turtles, cats and a dog. My view of animals changed slightly though when I saw wild lions in South Africa up close. I knew instinctively this big orange cat can take me down with one swipe. It gave me much more respect for the wilderness."

But she does have a 24 year old parrot called mister Frieda. I was beyond flattered when she sent me pictures of her parrot after I mentioned my dog website; not to mention that Cindy is one of my most favorite photographers out there right now. Girl crush.

Cornillius came to Maria and family when they discovered her daughter, Sofia, was allergic to other pets. He is a New Zealand rabbit bought in Canada and will live a long gorgeous life as Maria's muse. She started photographing him 4 years ago on her iPhone to get her acclimated to digital and thus, the Maria Robledo feed of Cornillius began.

This is Uggie. And this is Moreno with Sebastian on a shoot. Sebastian took Uggie's portrait during his performance in THE ARTIST. Sebastian says of Mrs. Sizzle's site, " Moreno will be so psyched to be on there. All I can say is that when Moreno comes to studio shoots, he gets more attention than the models. But he's also great help on set, he makes sure everyone is focused on creating great pics!" Thanks Sebastian!

Will shows at Danziger Gallery. As Will puts it, "I have a great relation with dogs. While I don't have one at the moment I always enjoy being around them. They tend to make their way into my work very often. I feel like their personalities come out easily when they are being photographed."

We had a brilliant team come together for the simple reason of trying to help some rescue dogs! Add some fashion and you get some fetching shots! I have to thank The Dogist for taking the pics, Stacy Alldredge for arranging dogs, Lauren Paltin and Emily Holland for styling and Chappell Laird for assisting the whole shoot! Thanks to all foster families for coming!

Not only has Pamela been a fun friend but she is also a mad good photographer. And not only a photographer but a dog lover too which makes for a delicious doggie combo! Seen here are some summer fun dog pictures of the creatures she is in love with. Best part of this post is seeing her nanny, Lynny, with Tabu, the poodle, Ambra, the great pyrenees, and Jimmy Hendrix, the cat. In addition to dogs, she also loved horses but her parents drew the line at canines.

Or at least he did make it while I was there at the studio that day. So, I was nervous before the visit, that I might be the only dog owner in the world to have dogs, well not really, that like to jump up on people. It was just not so. Wegman's dogs do the same thing and his dogs are bigger than my dogs. This is what he says about two of them, "Topper is the biggest trouble maker. He sometimes bites Flo's back leg when Flo is introducing herself to visitors. He barks a lot. But he's a great dog." I loved being able to go meet the dogs.
